Eating al fresco in Barcelona
Cooking and eating with the locals offers a surefire cultural immersion for students studying abroad. Even without enrolling in a strictly culinary program, students can experience the deeply embedded cultural features intrinsic to native foods, simply by doing as the locals do.
Brave New Traveler’s Ross Lee Tabak has excellent advice for those longing to tuck into a legit local meal, including shopping at the grocery store instead of always eating out, not being afraid to eat alone, trying everything once and walking around during mealtimes to ask locals for their recommendations.
For students who want a more formal and structured culinary education experience abroad, there are plenty of programs to choose from. Try Study Abroad Links, which has a thorough directory of culinary study abroad programs in Argentina, Canada, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, Thailand and the United States. Or visit the Study Abroad Directory from GoAbroad.com, which lists about 100 different culinary arts programs for students around the world (just highlight “Culinary Arts” in the subject section of the search box).
Finally, visit our "6 Sites for Study Abroad Programs," for more sites to help you plan an educational immersion, or our Food Web Guide to help you indulge in all things culinary on the Web.
